"Through friendship — by accumulating bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability, weave a safety net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good". UN
Friday July 30 | International Day of Friendship
A poignant performance in the Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday night, left me thinking about how Covid19 has separated us, but brought us closer together. Through our shared experience on a global scale.

That is certainly true of the friendship, shared vision, trust and effort my friend and partner in India and I have achieved together over the past year (after 10). Ravi (pictured, yes he's happy and when I could travel to India) has been housing our Artisans to ensure they're safe, have meaningful work & don't have to go back to the villages where they couldn't support themselves or their families. Our Artisans are now fully vaccinated but still we follow strict Covid19 protocols.
What a wonderful, kind, human being. And thanks to you who connected with me via Swimming in Stones.

There are so many depths to my love and connection to jewellery, the Artisans, the stones, the creativity and the meaning to people who wear it.
